Weigh Belt Feeder

Using variable speed drives, the speed of the belt is varied to control the mass rate and automatically adjusts the motor speed to either increase or decrease belt speed of the weigh belt. Web Tech weigh belt feeders are typically grouped into three categories, although custom machines can be built for special applications. The three categories are:

• Low capacity
• Medium capacity
• High capacity

Electronic Integrators

Web Tech AutoWeigh also designs and manufactures its own range of electronic integrators and controllers that can be used with all of our models of weigh belt feeders, conveyor belt scales and loss-in-weight systems. Each model has different features, providing solutions to the application requirements.

Standard features:

• Automatic calibration
• Audit trail
• Control outputs such as 4-20mA
• In built power supply
• IP66 reinforced polyester enclosure

Options:

• Stainless steel enclosures and sunshades
• Serial communications (Profibus, DeviceNet & Ethernet/ModbusTCP )
• 12/24/48 VDC power supplies
• Custom software

The standard models for most applications are our “Masterweigh® 7”, “Novus”, or our “Optimus” electronics for specialised applications.

The model of weigh belt feeder required depends on the application, material and layout requirements. For your material bulk density refer to the Material Bulk Density Guide.
